Further readings for the Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F1.4 ZA SSM Sony

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Announced only in February this year alongside the Sony made Zeiss branded 50mm f/1.4 ZA SSM, the 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II lens is an upgrade to the original silver finish model introduced in 2009. This new lens is said to boast up to 4x increase in AF operation and an improved optical performance (not to mention a new white exterior). Read on to see how well it performs in our labs.

+1 , This lens should be TESTED

Please review this lens!

Firstly, this lens is by no means old, it was released last year, so your excuse that "this lens is a bit old" is simply put, untrue.

Secondly, Sony/Minolta system is currently the 3rd most popular and the ZA & G lines are to our system what "L" lens are to Canon users. Your reviews are the most important source of valuable, quantifiable information about lens and a strong factor in making educated purchase decisions. Please give us this information! BTW: This lens is listed on DxOmark under the brand Carl Zeiss while all other ZA lenses are listed as Sony. This is inconsistent and cofusing.

But I'm wondering if I should sell it and get the FE 50mm 1.8. A review here would help with my decision.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us, and for this suggestion. For now, this lens is not listed in our road map, so we invite you to stay tuned.

This lens is old? What?

This lens isn't even a year old, and considering the other Zeiss lenses that have come out (some good- the Otus and the FE 55mm, and some bad- the new 24-70), and considering the release of the upcoming Sigma 50mm, I think a review of this lens would be very much appreciated by everyone. We know it's a great lens but your site is the only site many trust for a strong quantitative analysis of lens optics. Thank you!

Still no Test?

Hi,Thanks for you interest. This lens is a bit old and it's not in the road map at the moment. As for Sony lenses, we are currently analyzing the new Sony FE lenses, and some interesting results should be published soon.Best regards.
